What is on my mind:
I got to start back on Synthroid and eat a normal dinner.  What a day!  My appetite has been a little off - but I got a burrito from Tory’s to celebrate.

How my body feels:
My neck is still sore - and my ankle hurts, so exercising isn’t pleasant.  I was also slightly irritable today, too.  But not as bad as before.  Just a little snappy with my parents.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Started meds, and off the LID!  Back to “normal” since normal now means taking a pill every day.  I got used to not taking anything!  But now I have to go back to always setting my alarm.  Sigh.

Today I felt: Great.  Weight:  122lb

What is on my mind:
That I can’t wait to start living normally.  I get to eat a normal dinner tomorrow.  I am psyched!  I think I want a Tory’s burrito!  I’m afraid I’ll gain weight being off the diet though.

How my body feels:
My neck is getting sore.  The front near where the RAI is being taken up.  It hurts when I yawn, which is weird.  Its my glands that are sore.  Otherwise, I feel great!

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Nothing much - just taking it a day at a time.  Its all I can do.  Went to Coolidge, took a long walk to get out of the house.  Stay active.  It felt good.

Today I felt:   Great.  Weight:  122 lb.

What is on my mind:
That I have a long 2+ days left to be alone.  Luckily after 3 days, I can pretty much go back to normal.  But I’ll try to do good things alone too - be outside or something.

How my body feels:
Fine!  Had a bit of a headache around 10pm, took Tylenol and feel better.  We’ll see how tomorrow is.  But I don’t feel any different, which is weird.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Had my RAI!  That’s a big treatment goal . . . haha!  The biggest.  But it went perfectly, and I got great pictures of the experience.  Good for memories.

Today I felt:  Great.  Weight:  122 lb.

What is on my mind:
Finally really nervous about tomorrow but I’m sure I’ll sleep fine.  It’s just appointments, and stuff I have to do!  It’ll be a breeze, I’m sure.

How my body feels:
Pretty damn good!  No real complaints not even that tired.  I was kinda irritable earlier - I’ve been like that a bit lately.  Saturday was really bad.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Got my room ready for isolation!  Nice TV and DVD player.  Should be a fun time.  Haha.

Today I felt:  Great.  Weight:  122lb

What is on my mind:
Today’s doctor appointment were a breeze.  Nothing to worry about.  I’m hanging out with Lance tonight which is good for me.  I’m excited.
How my body feels:
Tired, but a lot better.  I have a bad headache, and neck ache that won’t go away, even with medicine.  That’s my only complaint today.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Just relaxing and enjoying my time.  I was very cautious because of my scan dose, but still was able to have fun.

Today I felt:  Very good.  Weight:  122 lb

What is on my mind:
I can’t believe I go for my scan tomorrow.  Unbelievable.  It’s finally here after six months of waiting.

How my body feels:
Like I’ve been hit by a bus.  I was at work late - and stayed in bed until 12:30ish but still felt horrible.  No energy, and exercising did NOT help.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:

Today I felt:  Not good.  Weight:  121 lb

What is on my mind:
I feel good!  The sun was beautiful today, so I spent time relaxing outside.

How my body feels:
Kinda tired - but I still went to Coolidge and exercised.  I did laps and stopped half way to do pull downs and crunches.

What is on my mind:
I’m starting to feel a little different.  Several times today, I wondered if I was wearing appropriate clothes.  I had to pat myself down to make sure I had jeans on!  It was a very weird feeling.

How my body feels:
My stomach really didn’t feel good today when I tried to exercise, so that was bad.  I think it was because I didn’t eat much this morning/afternoon.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:

Today I felt: Very good.

What is on my mind:
I can’t believe I haven’t gained or lost any weight!  The diet and exercising must be very helpful!
How my body feels:
Still having trouble sleeping.  I got up at 11ish, and then back to bed from 1-4.  I just felt “off” today - but still good.  It’s just the trouble sleeping that bugs me.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Exercising when I got up at 4 made me feel better - just to get out of the house.

Today I felt:  Good.  Weight: 120lb

What is on my mind:
I’m tired - but want to go out and do things!  I went to the mall, and got all the things I needed in under an hour.  Got mom’s mothers day present - it’s good to get things done!

How my body feels:
Tired from being up late (2am), from work and not getting great sleep.  But I exercised and that makes me feel better mentally and physically.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Just going out to do things is good for me, plus we all stayed late at work, and that is always fun.  I took lots of good pictures of everyone.

Today I felt:  Great.
